Incredible enough I received last week a letter that promise me some compensation if I contacted a person at a financial institution. The promise is pretty simple. The scammer says that he has an account under my same last name. That the accountholder died and nobody has moved the money so the scammer wants to work with me to get the account close and the money out. I believe how this scam works is that the scammer promises different things and then asks you to send some money back for his 'share' of the pie. In my case the institution that the scammer used was the Chesterfield Group in the United Kingdom and the name of the person is Christopher Moran.
